| I need to declare a DB2 null indicator in a PL/I program, for an SQL. DB2 says it must be a "SMALLINT". I have never heard of that in PL/I. What should it be? I'm pretty sure it's one byte. |

| SMALLINT is a halfword (2 Bytes). It's COBOL equivalent is PICTURE S9(4) COMP (or BINARY). |

| Thanks a lot. I don't have internet access from work. I only had a minute to post the question from a computer with access. |
